Vent: My local hardware store in Boise stopped stocking the good rain barrels
Last week I went to get a replacement barrel for my garden setup, and the manager said they phased them out last month. They only have these cheap 50-gallon plastic ones now that crack in the cold. Three years ago, you could get a solid recycled food-grade barrel there for under $80. Has anyone found a reliable source for the sturdy ones lately?

Those cheap barrels are probably fine for most people. The store likely switched because the old ones were too expensive and hard to get. A lot of folks just need basic storage and don't have the same problems with cracking. Maybe the manager had constant complaints about the price of the old barrels. It sounds like they're just trying to stock what sells.
